Tears

Time passes by slowly

as shadows dance on walls

and hardly see me...

some don't see me at all.

a tear drops from my eye

and I feel it again,

the sound of your lies

and the taste of pain.

my words are hollow

whispered to the wind

some are hard to swallow

and spoken in sin...

but inside me there's a fire,

a hope that still lingers,

hanging on a thin wire

wrapped around my fingers.

dreams of you escape me

they're not mine to keep

they're not yours to see

they're just tears I weep.
